Resveratrol-loaded sulfated Hericium erinaceus β-glucan-chitosan nanoparticles: Preparation, characterization and synergistic anti-inflammatory effects. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 332:121916. [PMID: 38431417 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.121916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Resveratrol (RES) is a natural polyphenol with excellent biological activity. But the poor stability and bioavailability of RES severely limit its application. Thus, the resveratrol-loaded sulfated Hericium erinaceus β-glucan-chitosan nanoparticles (DS-CS-RES NPs) were prepared using electrostatic self-assembly to solve these problems in this study. The structure of DS-CS-RES NPs was spherical or sub spherical shape with small average particle size (191.07 nm), which was characterized by FT-IR, FS, XRD and TEM. DS-CS-RES NPs exhibited good stability and RES had a sustainable release from the nanoparticles in gastrointestinal digestion. Meanwhile, DS-CS-RES NPs could improve the inflammatory injury of LPS stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages by inhibiting the production of NO, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α. Furthermore, DS-CS-RES NPs had strong anti-inflammatory activity by regulating protein levels of NF-κB p65, STAT1 and TLR4 through NF-κB and JAK-STAT1 signaling pathway in vitro, and sulfated H. erinaceus β-glucan-chitosan nanoparticle (DS-CS NPs) and RES had synergistic anti-inflammatory effect. Overall, DS-CS NPs can serve as a potential green and safe functional carrier for encapsulating resveratrol, which can improve its anti-inflammatory activity. This work may be conducive to the development of functional carrier for encapsulating RES and applications of hydrophobic active molecules in functional foods or medicines.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 250:126259.

Abstract
In this study, red ginseng extract (RGE)-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by ionic gelation between chitosan (CS) and gelatin (Gel), and the physical characteristics of the RGE-loaded CS-Gel NPs (RGE-CS/Gel NPs), including particle size and polydispersity index (PDI), using different ratios of CS and Gel were examined. The particle size and PDI were 398.1 ± 41.3 nm and 0.433 ± 0.033, respectively for the optimal ratio of CS (0.075 mg/mL) and Gel (0.05 mg/mL). In vitro taste masking test and in vivo sensory evaluation using 10 panelists demonstrated that the CS/Gel NPs significantly reduced the bitter taste of RGE. Additionally, the CS/Gel NPs improved the thermal and acid stabilities, which were almost 6 and 8 times higher than those in the free RGE (p < 0.05), respectively. Likewise, our findings revealed that the RGE-CS/Gel NPs effectively maintain their inhibitory function against platelet aggregation (76.30 %) in an acidic environment. Therefore, the CS/Gel NPs can be used as a potential delivery system to mask the bitterness and improve the stability of RGE, which may enhance its application as a more palatable functional food ingredient with high anti-platelet activity.

Abstract
Chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) are known to have great utility in many fields (pharmaceutical, agricultural, food industry, wastewater treatment, etc.). In this study we aimed to synthesize sub-100 nm CNPs as a precursor of new biopolymer-based virus surrogates for water applications. We present a simple yet efficient synthesis procedure for obtaining high yield, monodisperse CNPs with size 68-77 nm. The CNPs were synthesized by ionic gelation using low molecular weight chitosan (deacetylation 75-85%) and tripolyphosphate as crosslinker, under rigorous homogenization to decrease size and increase uniformity, and purified by passing through 0.1 μm polyethersulfone syringe filters. The CNPs were characterized using dynamic light scattering, tunable resistive pulse sensing, and scanning electron microscopy. We demonstrate reproducibility of this method at two separate facilities. The effects of pH, ionic strength and three different purification methods on the size and polydispersity of CNP formation were examined. Larger CNPs (95-219) were produced under ionic strength and pH controls, and when purified using ultracentrifugation or size exclusion chromatography. Smaller CNPs (68-77 nm) were formulated using homogenization and filtration, and could readily interact with negatively charge proteins and DNA, making them an ideal precursor for the development of DNA-labelled, protein-coated virus surrogates for environmental water applications.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is an advanced field that has remarkable nutraceutical and food applications. Phyto-bioactive compounds (PBCs) play critical roles in promoting health and disease treatment. However, PBCs generally encounter several limitations that delay their widespread application. For example, most PBCs have low aqueous solubility, poor biostability, poor bioavailability, and a lack of target specificity. Moreover, the high concentrations of effective PBC doses also limit their application. As a result, encapsulating PBCs into an appropriate nanocarrier may increase their solubility and biostability and protect them from premature degradation. Moreover, nanoencapsulation could improve absorption and prolong circulation with a high opportunity for targeted delivery that may decrease unwanted toxicity. This review addresses the main parameters, variables, and barriers that control and affect oral PBC delivery. Moreover, this review discusses the potential role of biocompatible and biodegradable nanocarriers in improving the water solubility, chemical stability, bioavailability, and specificity/selectivity of PBCs.

Abstract
This study focused on the characteristics and in vitro digestion of resveratrol encapsulated in Pickering emulsions stabilized by tea water-insoluble protein nanoparticles (TWINs). The absolute value of zeta potential of Pickering emulsions stabilized by TWIPNs (TWIPNPEs) encapsulating resveratrol was above 40 mV. Resveratrol encapsulated in TWIPNPEs was located at a hydrophobic environment of emulsion droplets. Additionally, the encapsulation efficiency (EE) of TWIPNPEs at TWIPN concentrations of 3.0% and 4.0% was above 85%. The resveratrol encapsulated in TWIPNPEs at a TWIPN concentration of 4.0% was still greater than 80% after UV irradiation to reduce the susceptibility of resveratrol for photodegradation. Moreover, the bioavailability of resveratrol in TWIPNPEs was improved in the simulated in vitro digestion. The bioavailability of resveratrol in TWIPNPEs in the simulated system was two times higher than unencapsulated resveratrol. This research could be useful for the encapsulation and application of nutraceuticals like resveratrol based on TWIPNPEs.

Abstract
In the last few decades, several natural bioactive agents have been widely utilized in the treatment and prevention of many diseases owing to their unique and versatile therapeutic effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and neuroprotective action. However, their poor aqueous solubility, poor bioavailability, low GIT stability, extensive metabolism as well as short duration of action are the most shortfalls hampering their biomedical/pharmaceutical applications. Different drug delivery platforms have developed in this regard, and a captivating tool of this has been the fabrication of nanocarriers. In particular, polymeric nanoparticles were reported to offer proficient delivery of various natural bioactive agents with good entrapment potential and stability, an efficiently controlled release, improved bioavailability, and fascinating therapeutic efficacy. In addition, surface decoration and polymer functionalization have opened the door to improving the characteristics of polymeric nanoparticles and alleviating the reported toxicity. Herein, a review of the state of knowledge on polymeric nanoparticles loaded with natural bioactive agents is presented. The review focuses on frequently used polymeric materials and their corresponding methods of fabrication, the needs of such systems for natural bioactive agents, polymeric nanoparticles loaded with natural bioactive agents in the literature, and the potential role of polymer functionalization, hybrid systems, and stimuli-responsive systems in overcoming most of the system drawbacks. This exploration may offer a thorough idea of viewing the polymeric nanoparticles as a potential candidate for the delivery of natural bioactive agents as well as the challenges and the combating tools used to overcome any hurdles.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RVT) is a polyphenolic phytoestrogen which has shown antiproliferative activity in breast cancer. However, its low bioavailability and short half-life have restricted its use. The current study aimed to develop transdermal patches of RVT and evaluate its site-specific delivery for breast cancer therapy. Different penetration enhancers were screened using a computational tool, quantitative structure propery relationship (QSPR). The best permeation of RVT was observed in a patch comprising hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) E15LV: HPMC-K4M: polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) K30 in the ratio of 3:1:2 as release controlling polymers with Glycerol:Capryol 90 (4:1) as penetration enhancer and plasticizer. To assess the localized delivery of RVT, the patch was applied to the breast of female rats. Higher breast tissue disposition with lower systemic concentration was observed compared to oral administration, demonstrated by increased AUC and MRT. Further, the optimized RVT patches were tested in 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) induced rat mammary cancer. Compared to oral RVT, the application of RVT tansdermal patches significantly reduced the tumor volume and serum CA 15-3, a cancer biomarker. Thus, the RVT transdermal patch may be a viable approach for ensuring high local concentration of drug for site-specific delivery in breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
The aggregation of crystallin proteins is related to cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Apart from surgical replacement of the cataract lens, no other alternative treatment is available till date for this ailment. In the current work, we carried out an in-depth investigation of the effect of polyphenol-loaded nano-formulations on the aggregation of γD-crystallin. At first, the protein was allowed to form amorphous aggregates under denaturing conditions. Several polyphenols were then tried to inhibit the aggregation of the protein. Among the polyphenols tested, resveratrol and quercetin were found to be the most effective. Since polyphenols are prone to degradation, they were encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles in order to provide ambient conditions for them to function effectively. The loading efficiency and polyphenol release kinetics were subsequently tested. Finally, the efficacy of resveratrol/quercetin-loaded chitosan nano-particles as inhibitors of γD-crystallin aggregation was confirmed in a series of experiments demonstrating the potency of the system in the prospective therapeutic intervention of eye ailments concerning self-assembly of γD-crystallin proteins.

Abstract
Food bioactives exhibit various health-promoting effects and are widely used in functional foods to maintain human health. After oral intake, bioactives undergo complex biological processes before reaching the target organs to exert their biological effects. However, several factors may reduce their bioavailability. Colloidal systems have attracted special attention due to their great potential to improve bioavailability and bioefficiency. Herein, we focus on the importance of in vivo studies of the biological fates of bioactives delivered by colloidal systems. Increasing evidence demonstrates that the construction, composition, and physicochemical properties of the delivery systems significantly influence the in vivo biological fates of bioactives. These results demonstrate the great potential to control the in vivo behavior of food bioactives by designing specific delivery systems. We also compare in vivo and in vitro models used for biological studies of the fate of food bioactives delivered by colloidal systems. Meanwhile, the significance of the gut microbiota, targeted delivery, and personalized nutrition should be carefully considered. This review provides new insight for further studies of food bioactives delivered by colloidal systems, as well as scientific guidance for the reasonable design of personalized nutrition.

Abstract
Emerging nanotechnology leads to success in synthesizing and applying nanoparticles (NPs) using the green-chemistry approach. NPs synthesized using naturally derived materials are a potential alternative to chemical and physical methods because they are simple, cost-effective, eco-friendly, and lower the possibility of hazardous residues being released into the environment. Furthermore, NPs synthesized using the green synthesis approach are stable and biocompatible. However, because natural extracts contain a diverse spectrum of bioactive components, it is difficult to pinpoint the specific component involved in NP formation. Furthermore, the bioactive component contained in the extract changes based on a number of environmental factors; therefore, several studies began with the synthesis of NPs using a pure compound isolated from diverse natural sources. Hence, the present review paper makes an effort to retrospectively analyze the key compounds of the extracts which are responsible for the synthesis of the NPs. The analysis was carried out based on the physicochemical characteristics and biological activities of NPs synthesized from either the extract or the pure compounds. These pure-compound-based NPs were studied for their antimicrobial, antibiofilm, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antioxidant properties. In addition, the present review also describes progress in the study of pure compound-based numerous biological activities and the underlying mechanisms of action.

Intensification of resveratrol cytotoxicity, pro-apoptosis, oxidant potentials in human colorectal carcinoma HCT-116 cells using zein nanoparticles. Sci Rep 2022; 12:15235. [PMID: 36075939 PMCID: PMC9458658 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-18557-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Resveratrol (RSV), a non-flavonoid stilbene polyphenol, possesses anti-carcinogenic activities against all the major stages of cancer. Zein nanoparticles (ZN NPs) have been utilized successfully in delivery of variant therapeuticals by virtue of their histocompatible nature. The goal of this work was to comparatively explore the antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic and oxidative stress potentials of RSV-ZN NPs versus RSV against human colorectal carcinoma HCT-116 cells. ZN-RSV NPs were developed and assayed for particle size analysis and RSV diffusion. The selected formula obtained 137.6 ± 8.3 nm as mean particle size, 29.4 ± 1.8 mV zeta potential, 92.3 ± 3.6% encapsulation efficiency. IC50 of the selected formula was significantly lower against HCT-116 cells versus Caco-2 cells. Also, significantly enhanced cellular uptake was generated from RSV-ZN NPs versus free RSV. Enhanced apoptosis was concluded due to increased percentage cells in G2-M and pre-G1 phases. The pro-apoptotic potential was explained by caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-3 increased mRNA expression in addition to NF-κB and miRNA125b decreased expression. Biochemically, ZN-RSV NPs induced oxidative stress as demonstrated by enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) isoenzyme increased levels. Conclusively, ZN-RSV NPs obtained cell cycle inhibition supported with augmented cytotoxicity, uptake and oxidative stress markers levels in HCT-116 tumor cells in comparison with free RSV. These results indicated intensified chemopreventive profile of RSV due to effective delivery utilizing ZN nano-dispersion against colorectal carcinoma HCT-116 cells.

Abstract
Chitosan displays a dual function, acting as both an active ingredient and/or carrier for pharmaceutical bioactive molecules and metal ions. Its hydroxyl- and amino-reactive groups and acetylation degree can be used to adjust this biopolymer's physicochemical and pharmacological properties in different forms, including scaffolds, nanoparticles, fibers, sponges, films, and hydrogels, among others. In terms of pharmacological purposes, chitosan association with different polymers and the immobilization or entrapment of bioactive agents are effective strategies to achieve desired biological responses. Chitosan biocompatibility, water entrapment within nanofibrils, antioxidant character, and antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, whether enhanced by other active components or not, ensure skin moisturization, as well as protection against bacteria colonization and oxidative imbalance. Chitosan-based nanomaterials can maintain or reconstruct skin architecture through topical or systemic delivery of hydrophilic or hydrophobic pharmaceuticals at controlled rates to treat skin affections, such as acne, inflammatory manifestations, wounds, or even tumorigenesis, by coating chemotherapy drugs. Herein, chitosan obtention, physicochemical characteristics, chemical modifications, and interactions with bioactive agents are presented and discussed. Molecular mechanisms involved in chitosan skin protection and recovery are highlighted by overlapping the events orchestrated by the signaling molecules secreted by different cell types to reconstitute healthy skin tissue structures and components.

Abstract
Cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G), an anthocyanin constituent of fruits and vegetables. It has been proven to possess numerous health benefits with no side effects. However, the poor stability of C3G is an intractable property that limits its application. Hence, the aim of this study is to improve the stability of C3G through the formation of well dispersed nanoparticles. In this study, C3G loaded β-CD-EP-CMC nanoparticles exhibited nearly spherical with good disperse and homogeneous morphology. Results also indicated that the nanoparticles formation of grafting of C3G to β-CD-EP-CMC could significantly improve the stability of C3G to against thermal or light degradation. Collectively, current results strongly aligned with the prospective purpose that the grafting of C3G to β-CD-EP-CMC nanoparticles could be treated as an effective approach for improving the stability. This study opens a new avenue for the utilization and development of novel wall materials β-CD-EP-CMC in C3G associated nutraceutical.

Resveratrol Encapsulation and Release from Pristine and Functionalized Mesoporous Silica Carriers. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14010203.

Abstract
Resveratrol, a naturally occurring polyphenol, has attracted significant attention due to its antioxidant, cardioprotective and anticancer potential. However, its low aqueous solubility limits resveratrol bioavailability and use. In this work, different mesoporous silica matrices were used to encapsulate the polyphenol and to increase its dissolution rate. Pristine MCM-41, MCM-48, SBA-15, SBA-16, FDU-12 and MCF silica were obtained. The influence of SBA-15 functionalized with aminopropyl, isocyanate, phenyl, mercaptopropyl, and propionic acid moieties on resveratrol loading and release profiles was also assessed. The cytotoxic effects were evaluated for mesoporous carriers and resveratrol-loaded samples against human lung cancer (A549), breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and human skin fibroblast (HSF) cell lines. The effect on apoptosis and cell cycle were assayed for selected resveratrol-loaded carriers. The polyphenol molecules are encapsulated only inside the mesopores, mostly in amorphous state. All materials containing either pristine or functionalized silica carriers increased polyphenol dissolution rate. The influence of the physico-chemical properties of the mesoporous carriers and resveratrol–loaded supports on the kinetic parameters was identified. Resv@SBA-15-SH and Resv@SBA-15-NCO samples exhibited the highest anticancer effect against A549 cells (IC50 values were 26.06 and 36.5 µg/mL, respectively) and against MDA-MB-231 (IC50 values were 35.56 and 19.30 µg/mL, respectively), which highlights their potential use against cancer.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is associated with a wide range of diseases characterised by oxidant-mediated disturbances of various signalling pathways and cellular damage. The only effective strategy for the prevention of cellular damage is to limit the production of oxidants and support their efficient removal. The implication of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway in the cellular redox status has spurred new interest in the use of its natural modulators (e.g., curcumin, resveratrol). Unfortunately, most natural Nrf2 modulators are poorly soluble and show extensive pre-systemic metabolism, low oral bioavailability, and rapid elimination, which necessitates formulation strategies to circumvent these limitations. This paper provides a brief introduction on the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in Nrf2 modulation and an overview of commonly studied formulations for the improvement of oral bioavailability and in vivo pharmacokinetics of Nrf2 modulators. Some formulations that have also been studied in vivo are discussed, including solid dispersions, self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems, and nanotechnology approaches, such as polymeric and solid lipid nanoparticles, nanocrystals, and micelles. Lastly, brief considerations of nano drug delivery systems for the delivery of Nrf2 modulators to the brain, are provided. The literature reviewed shows that the formulations discussed can provide various improvements to the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of natural Nrf2 modulators. This has been demonstrated in animal models and clinical studies, thereby increasing the potential for the translation of natural Nrf2 modulators into clinical practice.

Abstract
The excellent therapeutic potential of a variety of phytochemicals in different diseases has been proven by extensive studies throughout history. However, most phytochemicals are characterized by a high molecular weight, poor aqueous solubility, limited gastrointestinal permeability, extensive pre-systemic metabolism, and poor stability in the harsh gastrointestinal milieu. Therefore, loading of these phytochemicals in biodegradable and biocompatible nanoparticles (NPs) might be an effective approach to improve their bioactivity. Different nanocarrier systems have been developed in recent decades to deliver phytochemicals. Among them, NPs based on chitosan (CS) (CS-NPs), a mucoadhesive, non-toxic, and biodegradable polysaccharide, are considered the best nanoplatform for the oral delivery of phytochemicals. This review highlights the oral delivery of natural products, i.e., phytochemicals, encapsulated in NPs prepared from a natural polymer, i.e., CS, for improved bioavailability and bioactivity. The unique properties of CS for oral delivery such as its mucoadhesiveness, non-toxicity, excellent stability in the harsh environment of the GIT, good solubility in slightly acidic and alkaline conditions, and ability to enhance intestinal permeability are discussed first, and then the outcomes of various phytochemical-loaded CS-NPs after oral administration are discussed in detail. Furthermore, different challenges associated with the oral delivery of phytochemicals with CS-NPs and future directions are also discussed.

Abstract
The unique properties of chitosan make it a useful choice for various nanoparticulate drug delivery applications. Although chitosan is biocompatible and enables cellular uptake, its interactions at cellular and systemic levels need to be studied in more depth. This review focuses on the various physical and chemical properties of chitosan that affect its performance in biological systems. We aim to analyze recent research studying interactions of chitosan nanoparticles (NPs) upon their cellular uptake and their journey through the various compartments of the cell. The positive charge of chitosan enables it to efficiently attach to cells, increasing the probability of cellular uptake. Chitosan NPs are taken up by cells via different pathways and escape endosomal degradation due to the proton sponge effect. Furthermore, we have reviewed the interaction of chitosan NPs upon in vivo administration. Chitosan NPs are immediately surrounded by a serum protein corona in systemic circulation upon intravenous administration, and their biodistribution is mainly to the liver and spleen indicating RES uptake. However, the evasion of RES system as well as the targeting ability and bioavailability of chitosan NPs can be improved by utilizing specific routes of administration and covalent modifications of surface properties. Ongoing clinical trials of chitosan formulations for therapeutic applications are paving the way for the introduction of chitosan into the pharmaceutical market and for their toxicological evaluation. Chitosan provides specific biophysical properties for effective and tunable cellular uptake and systemic delivery for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RVT) is one of the potent anticancer phytochemicals which has shown promising potential for breast cancer therapy. However, its short half-life and low bioavailability is a major hurdle in its effective use. In this study, we have developed nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) of RVT to enable localized delivery of the drug to the breast tissues using microneedle arrays to improve effectiveness. The NLCs were optimized using the Design of Experiments approach and characterized for their particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential and entrapment efficiency. The RVT-NLCs delivered using microneedle array 1200 showed a higher permeation of RVT across the skin with lower skin retention compared to pure RVT. Further, RVT-NLCs showed higher anticancer activity on MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines and enhanced internalization compared to pure RVT. Moreover, the RVT-NLCs were found to inhibit the migration of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. Preclinical studies in rats showed that RVT-NLCs delivered via microneedles demonstrated a remarkable increase in the Cmax, Tmax and AUC0-inf, and a higher localization in breast tissue compared to pure RVT administered orally. These results suggests that the RVT-NLCs administered by microneedle array system is an effective strategy for the local delivery of RVT for breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
The study aims at formulation and optimization of resveratrol and humic acid co-encapsulated colloidal polymeric nanocarriers to improve stability, oral bioavailability, and antiradical activity of water-insoluble, resveratrol. The eudragit E100 polymeric material was used to fabricate resveratrol and humic acid co-encapsulated oral colloidal polymeric nanocarriers (Res-HA-co-CPNs) using emulsification-diffusion-evaporation method. Taguchi orthogonal array design was employed to check the effect of formulation factors on in vitro physicochemical characteristics. The optimized formulation was further evaluated for oral bioavailability as well as for antiradical potential. Optimized Res-HA-co-CPNs demonstrated spherical and smooth surface including mean particle size, 120.56 ± 18.8 nm; polydispersity index, 0.122; zeta potential, +38.25 mV; and entrapment efficiency, 82.37 ± 1.49%. Solid-state characterization confirmed the amorphous characteristic of optimized Res-HA-co-CPNs. In vitro release profile of Res-HA-co-CPNs showed sustained release behavior up to 48 h and CPNs were found to remain stable at the refrigerated condition for 6 months. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies revealed significant (p < 0.05) improvement of ∼62.76-fold in oral bioavailability. The radical-scavenging activity was found to be increased with time and after 72 h, it was analogous to pure Res. IC50 values were reported to be decreased with time. Henceforth, developed Res-HA-co-CPNs was proven to be a proficient dosage form to increase stability, oral bioavailability, and antiradical activity of resveratrol.HighlightsResveratrol-humic acid co-encapsulated colloidal polymeric nanocarriers (Res-HA-co-CPNs) were fabricated by emulsification-diffusion-evaporation method and optimized by Taguchi orthogonal array design.The Res-HA-co-CPNs revealed favorable mean particle size and percent encapsulation efficiency with a spherical and smooth surface.The Res-HA-co-CPNs showed diffusion-controlled release of Res and were found to be stable at the refrigerated condition for 6 months.The optimized Res-HA-co-CPNs demonstrated significantly (p < 0.05) higher oral bioavailability with respect to pure Res and PM.The optimized Res-HA-co-CPNs demonstrated higher radical-scavenging activity with respect to time.

Abstract
Enrofloxacin (ENR), a broad-spectrum antibacterial drug, has extremely poor water solubility contributing to low bioavailability, which prevents drug formulation design and limits its wide application in livestock farming and aquaculture. Compared to conventional formulations of ENR, casein (Cas)-based drug delivery system has been reported to have significant advantages in the improvement of solubility and bioavailability of drugs. In this paper, we report the preparation process of ENR-loaded Cas nanoparticles (ENR-Cas) using magnetic agitation without any organic agent and the optimization of the formulation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were all adopted to characterize the ENR-Cas. Results showed that the obtained ENR-Cas were approximately spherical with a particle size of 171.6 ± 13.8 nm with a polydispersity index of 0.322 ± 0.053. In vitro release behavior of ENR-Cas showed a sustained release profile. Additionally, in vivo study in rats displayed that the mean plasma concentration of ENR after oral administration of ENR-Cas was significantly higher than that treated with ENR suspension. The mean residence time (MRT0-24) of ENR was enhanced by Cas nanoparticles from 9.287 ± 0.524 to 11.372 ± 1.139 hr in comparison with ENR suspension. Accordingly, the area under the curve (AUC0-24) of ENR-Cas was 80.521 ± 6.624 μg·hr/ml, 3.8-fold higher than that of ENR suspension (20.850 ± 1.715 μg·hr/ml). Therefore, it can be concluded that ENR-Cas enhanced the absorption, prolonged the retention time, and improved oral bioavailability of ENR. Taken the good oral safety of Cas into consideration, ENR-Cas should be a more promising oral preparation of ENR for clinical application.

Increasing the Power of Polyphenols through Nanoencapsulation for Adjuvant Therapy against Cardiovascular Diseases. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26154621. [PMID: 34361774 PMCID: PMC8347607 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26154621] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2021] [Revised: 07/25/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Polyphenols play a therapeutic role in vascular diseases, acting in inherent illness-associate conditions such as inflammation, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and oxidative stress, as demonstrated by clinical trials and epidemiological surveys. The main polyphenol cardioprotective mechanisms rely on increased nitric oxide, decreased asymmetric dimethylarginine levels, upregulation of genes encoding antioxidant enzymes via the Nrf2-ARE pathway and anti-inflammatory action through the redox-sensitive transcription factor NF-κB and PPAR-γ receptor. However, poor polyphenol bioavailability and extensive metabolization restrict their applicability. Polyphenols carried by nanoparticles circumvent these limitations providing controlled release and better solubility, chemical protection, and target achievement. Nano-encapsulate polyphenols loaded in food grade polymers and lipids appear to be safe, gaining resistance in the enteric route for intestinal absorption, in which the mucoadhesiveness ensures their increased uptake, achieving high systemic levels in non-metabolized forms. Nano-capsules confer a gradual release to these compounds, as well as longer half-lives and cell and whole organism permanence, reinforcing their effectiveness, as demonstrated in pre-clinical trials, enabling their application as an adjuvant therapy against cardiovascular diseases. Polyphenol entrapment in nanoparticles should be encouraged in nutraceutical manufacturing for the fortification of foods and beverages. This study discusses pre-clinical trials evaluating how nano-encapsulate polyphenols following oral administration can aid in cardiovascular performance.

Abstract
Tumor resistance to therapy modalities is one of the major challenges to the eradication of cancer cells and complete treatment. Tumor includes a wide range of cancer and non-cancer cells that play key roles in the proliferation of cancer cells and suppression of anti-tumor immunity. For overcoming tumor resistance to therapy, it is important to have in-depth knowledge relating to intercellular communications within the tumor microenvironment (TME). TME includes various types of immune cells such as CD4 + T lymphocytes, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages, and T regulatory cells (Tregs). Furthermore, some non-immune cells like cancer stem cells (CSCs), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are involved in the promotion of tumor growth. The interactions between these cells with cancer cells play a key role in tumor growth or inhibition. Resveratrol as a natural agent has shown the ability to modulate the immune system to potentiate anti-tumor immunity and also help to attenuate cancer cells and CSCs resistance. Thus, this review explains how resveratrol can modulate interactions within TME.

Abstract
This research deals with the determination of solubility, Hansen solubility parameters, dissolution properties, enthalpy-entropy compensation, and computational modeling of a naturally-derived bioactive compound trans-resveratrol (TRV) in water, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, propylene glycol (PG), and various PG + water mixtures. The solubility of TRV in six different mono-solvents and various PG + water mixtures was determined at 298.2-318.2 K and 0.1 MPa. The measured experimental solubility values of TRV were regressed using six different computational/theoretical models, including van't Hoff, Apelblat, Buchowski-Ksiazczak λh, Yalkowsly-Roseman, Jouyban-Acree, and van't Hoff-Jouyban-Acree models, with average uncertainties of less than 3.0%. The maxima of TRV solubility in mole fraction was obtained in neat PG (2.62 × 10-2) at 318.2 K. However, the minima of TRV solubility in the mole fraction was recorded in neat water (3.12 × 10-6) at 298.2 K. Thermodynamic calculation of TRV dissolution properties suggested an endothermic and entropy-driven dissolution of TRV in all studied mono-solvents and various PG + water mixtures. Solvation behavior evaluation indicated an enthalpy-driven mechanism as the main mechanism for TRV solvation. Based on these data and observations, PG has been chosen as the best mono-solvent for TRV solubilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxaliplatin (OXE) combined with other chemotherapy drugs against colorectal cancer had been reported in the literature before, however, the efficacy of oxaliplatin combined with natural compounds was elusive. In addition, the clinical bioactivity and therapeutic dose of antitumor drugs are severely limited due to poor targeting and side effects. NDDSs offers an excellent strategy to overcome the disadvantages of small molecule anticancer drugs. METHODS Here, we have prepared N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan Oxaliplatin nanoparticles (CMCS-OXE NPs) and N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan Resveratrol nanoparticles (CMCS-Res NPs) were prepared by ion crosslinking and emulsification crosslinking, respectively. RESULTS The results revealed that the CMCS-OXE NPs exhibited a high encapsulation efficiency (60%) with a size of approximately 190.0 nm, and the CMCS-Res NPs exhibited a high encapsulation efficiency (65%) with a size of approximately 164.2 nm. The treatment with both types of nanoparticles combined exhibited more significant anti-colon cancer activity than the free drugs or either type of nanoparticle alone. In the in vivo experiments, the inhibition efficiency of the combined nanoparticle treatment was much stronger than the free drugs or either type of nanoparticle alone. CONCLUSIONS Overall, combination of oxaliplatin and resveratrol into a nanoparticle-drug delivery systems (NDDSs) appears to be a promising strategy for colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy.

Abstract
The use of biologically active compounds derived from plants i.e. phytochemicals, have been known for ages for their pharmacological activities in the treatment of autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Besides enormous scientific evidence, the therapeutic potential of phytochemicals is often undervalued. The treatment in RA involves the use of synthetic and biological disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). However, the long-term treatment in RA is associated with the risk of gastrointestinal, liver, pulmonary and renal toxicities and serious infections including latent tuberculosis, pneumococcus influenza, herpes zoster and hepatitis. These adverse effects sometimes lead to discontinuation of the therapy. A relatively new vision based on the combination of DMARDs with phytochemicals exhibiting anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, anti-oxidant, hepatoprotective and nephroprotective properties for the treatment of RA has achieved substantial importance in the last decade. From this perspective, the present review focuses on the combination of DMARDs (primarily MTX) with phytochemicals that have shown synergistic therapeutic effects while decreasing the toxic repercussions of current RA therapy. The review covers recent evidences of such combination studies that have shown promising results both in experimental arthritic models and clinical arthritis. Few of the combinations including resveratrol, sinomenine, coenzyme Q10 exhibited considerable interest because of their efficacy as an adjuvant to the MTX/standard DMARDs therapy in clinical trials. Besides giving an overview of such combination studies the review also critically discusses the limitations with the use of phytochemicals (e.g. solubility, permeability and bioavailability) compromising their clinical application. Additionally, it stresses upon the need of novel delivery systems and pharmaceutical technologies to increase the therapeutic efficacy of the combination therapy. Overall, the review unveils the potential of phytochemicals in combination with DMARDs with increased tolerability and superior efficacy in further refining the future of the RA therapy.

Abstract
Folate-modified carboxymethyl chitosan (FCMC) was made by folate acid as targeted group and attaching folate to carboxymethyl chitosan, and then, targeted FCMC/CaCO3 hybrid nanosphere were formed by self-assembly of calcium carbonate in FCMC solution. The physicochemical properties of the nanospheres were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurement and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that the FCMC/CaCO3 hybrid nanospheres were composed of calcite, vaterite and polysaccharides, and the content of organic compounds was 12.17%. Also, the structure performance of the hybrid nanospheres was analyzed. Besides, the effects of the hybrid nanospheres on the encapsulation efficiency, the drug loading content and the release behavior were also analyzed with the metformin (MET) as a model drug. Scanning electron microscope, Zeta potential analysis and UV-Vis were used to characterize the hybrid nanospheres. Under the conditions of FCMC/Ca2+ molar ratio of 4: 1 and reaction for 24 h, the achieved results showed that the spherical aggregates with regular morphology were obtained and the average particle size of the nanospheres was 207 nm. The specific surface area of the hybrid nanosphere is 27.06 m2·g-1 and the average pore diameter of the sample is 3.84 nm, indicating the presence of mesoporous structure in the sample. This mesoporous structure can supply potential space for adsorption of anticancer drugs. Additionally, the surface charge of the nanoparticles was positive and the entrapment efficiency was 83.32%. The hybrid nanospheres have a capability of effective pH-sensitivity controlled drug release. All the drug loaded hybrid nanospheres successfully sustained the release of MET at pH 7.4, only about 44.58% of the drug released in 6 days. While under acidic condition (pH 5.0) drug release was significantly accelerated, being over 98.85% of the drug released. The hybrid nanospheres demonstrated an excellent smart drug delivery behavior.

Enhanced Oral Bioavailability of Resveratrol by Using Neutralized Eudragit E Solid Dispersion Prepared via Spray Drying. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10010090.

Abstract
In this study, we designed amorphous solid dispersions based on Eudragit E/HCl (neutralized Eudragit E using hydrochloric acid) to maximize the dissolution of trans-resveratrol. Solid-state characterization of amorphous solid dispersions of trans-resveratrol was performed using powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and particle size measurements. In addition, an in vitro dissolution study and an in vivo pharmacokinetic study in rats were carried out. Among the tested polymers, Eudragit E/HCl was the most effective solid dispersion for the solubilization of trans-resveratrol. Eudragit E/HCl significantly inhibited the precipitation of trans-resveratrol in a pH 1.2 dissolution medium in a dose-dependent manner. The amorphous Eudragit E/HCl solid dispersion at a trans-resveratrol/polymer ratio of 10/90 exhibited a high degree of supersaturation without trans-resveratrol precipitation for at least 48 h by the formation of Eudragit E/HCl micelles. In rats, the absolute oral bioavailability (F%) of trans-resveratrol from Eudragit E/HCl solid dispersion (10/90) was estimated to be 40%. Therefore, trans-resveratrol-loaded Eudragit E/HCl solid dispersions prepared by spray drying offer a promising formulation strategy with high oral bioavailability for developing high-quality health supplements, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical products.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the main causes of death globally and considered as a major challenge for the public health system. The high toxicity and the lack of selectivity of conventional anticancer therapies make the search for alternative treatments a priority. In this review, we describe the main plant-derived natural products used as anticancer agents. Natural sources, extraction methods, anticancer mechanisms, clinical studies, and pharmaceutical formulation are discussed in this review. Studies covered by this review should provide a solid foundation for researchers and physicians to enhance basic and clinical research on developing alternative anticancer therapies.

Abstract
Polyphenols are micronutrients that are widely present in human daily diets. Numerous studies have demonstrated their potential as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, and for cancer prevention, heart protection and the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. However, due to their vulnerability to environmental conditions and low bioavailability, their application in the food and medical fields is greatly limited. Nanoformulations, as excellent drug delivery systems, can overcome these limitations and maximize the pharmacological effects of polyphenols. In this review, we summarize the biological activities of polyphenols, together with systems for their delivery, including phospholipid complexes, lipid-based nanoparticles, protein-based nanoparticles, niosomes, polymers, micelles, emulsions and metal nanoparticles. The application of polyphenol nanoparticles in food and medicine is also discussed. Although loading into nanoparticles solves the main limitation to application of polyphenolic compounds, there are some concerns about their toxicological safety after entry into the human body. It is therefore necessary to conduct toxicity studies and residue analysis on the carrier.

Abstract
Triptolide (TP), a broad-spectrum antitumor drug, has very poor solubility and oral bioavailability, which limits its clinical use. Compared with conventional formulations of TP, a casein (Cas)-based drug delivery system has been reported to have significant advantages for the improvement of solubility and bioavailability of insoluble drugs. In this paper, we report the successful preparation of TP-loaded Cas nanoparticles (TP-Cas) using the self-assembly characteristics of Cas in water and the optimization of the formulation by evaluation of entrapment efficiency (EE) and loading efficiency (LE). Dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was adopted to characterize the TP-Cas. Results showed that the obtained TP-Cas were approximately spherical with a particle size of 128.7 ± 11.5 nm, EE of 72.7 ± 4.7 %, and LE of 8.0% ± 0.5%. Furthermore, in vitro release behavior of TP-Cas in PBS (pH = 7.4) was also evaluated, showing a sustained-release profile. Additionally, an in vivo study in rats displayed that the mean plasma concentration of TP after oral administration of TP-Cas was significantly higher than that treated with TP oral suspension. The C max value for TP-Cas (8.0 ± 4.4 μg/mL) was significantly increased compared with the free TP (0.9 ± 0.3 μg/mL). Accordingly, the area under the curve (AUC0-8) of TP-Cas was 2.8 ± 0.8 mg/L·h, 4.3-fold higher than that of TP suspension (0.6 ± 0.1 mg/L·h). Therefore, it can be concluded that TP-Cas enhanced the absorption and improved oral bioavailability of TP. Taking the good oral safety of Cas into consideration, TP-Cas should be a more promising preparation of TP for clinical application.

Abstract
Numerous studies document an increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with a subsequent decrease in nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability in different cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, and heart failure. Many natural polyphenols have been demonstrated to decrease ROS generation and/or to induce the endogenous antioxidant enzymatic defense system. Moreover, different polyphenolic compounds have the ability to increase the activity/expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) with a subsequent enhancement of NO generation. However, as a result of low absorption and bioavailability of natural polyphenols, the beneficial effects of these substances are very limited. Recent progress in delivering polyphenols to the targeted tissues revealed new possibilities for the use of polymeric nanoparticles in increasing the efficiency and reducing the degradability of natural polyphenols. This review focuses on the effects of different natural polyphenolic substances, especially resveratrol, quercetin, curcumin, and cherry extracts, and their ability to bind to polymeric nanoparticles, and summarizes the effects of polyphenol-loaded nanoparticles, mainly in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Chitosan is a cationic natural polysaccharide, which has emerged as an increasingly interesting biomaterialover the past few years. It constitutes a novel perspective in drug delivery systems and nanocarriers' formulations due to its beneficial properties, including biocompatibility, biodegradability and low toxicity. The potentiality of chemical or enzymatic modifications of the biopolymer, as well as its complementary use with other polymers, further attract the scientific community, offering improved and combined properties in the final materials. As a result, chitosan has been extensively used as a matrix for the encapsulation of several valuable compounds. In this review article, the advantageous character of chitosan as a matrix for nanosystemsis presented, focusing on the encapsulation of natural products. A five-year literature review is attempted covering the use of chitosan and modified chitosan as matrices and coatings for the encapsulation of natural extracts, essential oils or pure naturally occurring bioactive compounds are discussed.

Abstract
There are many kinds of biological activities of resveratrol itself, but its clinical application is limited by its poor solubility in water and low bioavailability. Therefore, we have prepared glycyrrhizic acid-conjugated human serum albumin nanoparticles wrapping resveratrol nanoparticles (GL-HSA-RESNPs). The purpose of this study was to investigate the bioavailability, pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of resveratrol in rats after single-dose tail vein injection administration of GL-HSA-RESNPs. A sensitive and reliable high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was established to verify the content of resveratrol in rat plasma and organs. The Cmax value after GL-HSA-RESNPs administration was significantly higher than that of resveratrol suspension (933 ± 76.64 ng/mL vs. 618 ± 42.54 ng/mL, p < .01). The Tmax value obtained after GL-HSA-RESNPs administration was significantly shorter than that after resveratrol suspension administration (0.17 ± 0.01 h vs. 0.25 ± 0.01 h, p < .001). The bioavailability of GL-HSA-RESNPs was 4.25 times higher than that of the pure resveratrol. The concentration of resveratrol in the main organs of rats treated with the GL-HSA-RESNPs was higher than that in rats treated with the pure resveratrol. Rats treated with GL-HSA-RESNPs had the highest concentration of resveratrol in their liver. It is indicated that GL-HSA-RESNPs is a promising liver-targeted delivery system that improves the in vivo bioavailability of resveratrol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Propolis exhibits therapeutic properties due to the presence of phenolic acids, esters, and flavonoids. The scope of this study was to develop a nano-vesicular formulation and establish a three-dimensional (3D) spheroid model in which lung cancer is recapitulated. RESULTS Niosome vesicles doped with galangin-rich propolis extract were synthesized by the ether injection method using a cholesterol : surfactant mass ratio of 1 : 3 at 40 °C for 1 h. Formulated niosomes were administered to 3D lung cancer spheroid model and the cytotoxicity was compared with that of a two-dimensional (2D) setting. The galangin content was determined as 86 μg mg-1 propolis extract by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). The particle size of loaded niosome was 151 ± 2.84 nm with a polydispersity index (PDI) of about 0.232, and an encapsulation efficiency of 70% was achieved. CONCLUSION The decrease in cell viability and the scattering in the 3D spheroids of A549 lung cancer cells treated with propolis-loaded niosomes were notable, indicating a profound cytotoxic effect and suggesting that they can be utilized as an effective nano-vesicle. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Pure Trans-Resveratrol Nanoparticles Prepared by A Supercritical Antisolvent Process Using Alcohol and Dichloromethane Mixtures: Effect of Particle Size on Dissolution and Bioavailability in Rats. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9040342. [PMID: 32331478 PMCID: PMC7222356 DOI: 10.3390/antiox9040342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2020] [Revised: 04/20/2020] [Accepted: 04/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to prepare pure trans-resveratrol nanoparticles without additives (surfactants, polymers, and sugars) using a supercritical antisolvent (SAS) process with alcohol (methanol or ethanol) and dichloromethane mixtures. In addition, in order to investigate the effect of particle size on the dissolution and oral bioavailability of the trans-resveratrol, two microparticles with different sizes (1.94 μm and 18.75 μm) were prepared using two different milling processes, and compared to trans-resveratrol nanoparticles prepared by the SAS process. The solid-state properties of pure trans-resveratrol particles were characterized. By increasing the percentage of dichloromethane in the solvent mixtures, the mean particle size of trans-resveratrol was decreased, whereas its specific surface area was increased. The particle size could thus be controlled by solvent composition. Trans-resveratrol nanoparticle with a mean particle size of 0.17 μm was prepared by the SAS process using the ethanol/dichloromethane mixture at a ratio of 25/75 (w/w). The in vitro dissolution rate of trans-resveratrol in fasted state-simulated gastric fluid was significantly improved by the reduction of particle size, resulting in enhanced oral bioavailability in rats. The absolute bioavailability of trans-resveratrol nanoparticles was 25.2%. The maximum plasma concentration values were well correlated with the in vitro dissolution rate. These findings clearly indicate that the oral bioavailability of trans-resveratrol can be enhanced by preparing pure trans-resveratrol nanoparticles without additives (surfactants, polymers, and sugars) by the SAS process. These pure trans-resveratrol nanoparticles can be applied as an active ingredient for the development of health supplements, pharmaceutical products, and cosmetic products.

Microencapsulation as a tool to counteract the typical low bioavailability of polyphenols in the management of diabetes. Food Chem Toxicol 2020; 139:111248.

Abstract
Polyphenols are secondary metabolites widely distributed in many plant foods, such a tea, coffee, chocolate and fruits. The consumption of these compounds is related to the improvement or amelioration of many diseases, including diabetes. Nevertheless, the great barrier to the therapeutic use of polyphenols is the low bioavailability of these compounds once ingested. For that reason, the encapsulation of polyphenols in different matrices may protect them from digestion and improve their release and subsequent absorption to obtain target-specific health effects. Some studies have reported the beneficial effect of encapsulation to increase both bioavailability and bioaccessibility. However, these works have mostly been carried out in vitro and few studies are specifically addressed at improving diabetes. In the current work, an overview of the knowledge related to nanoparticles and their use in the diabetic condition has been reviewed.

Abstract
In this study, cyclodextrin metal-organic framework/chitosan (CD-MOF/CS) nanocapsules, which have a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic shell, were fabricated as delivery systems for bioactive agents. The nanocapsules were prepared by electrostatic deposition of cationic chitosan onto the anionic CD-MOF core. The presence of the CS coating reduced the mean diameter and polydispersity index of the nanocapsules, which was attributed to their ability to inhibit particle aggregation. Moreover, the encapsulation efficiency of resveratrol within the nanocapsules increased appreciably after coating them with chitosan (from 66.5 to 91.3%). The chitosan coating was also shown to increase the antioxidant activity and photostability of the encapsulated resveratrol. Information about the binding interactions of the resveratrol with the nanocapsules was obtained using fluorescence spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. The new nanocapsules created in this study may have applications for the encapsulation, protection, and delivery of bioactive agents in food, supplement, and pharmaceutical applications.
